Registration

To become a fully registered student of SRUC, you must register online - a guide is on our registration pages.

  • You must do this every year before the start of your programme of study.
  • If you are a new student you will be sent an email that gives you your SRUC log in details to allow you to log in the SRUC Portal.
  • In the email you receive from us, it will also include a link to the SRUC portal to allow you to complete your Registration.
  • Returning students will be sent a link to the portal to Register.

The email will be sent to you at least two weeks before you start your programme, provided we have confirmation that you have met any conditions necessary and have accepted your offer to join the programme. They will start being sent out from the 11th of August but students on FE courses (for example NC or Introduction courses) and distance learning courses will be prioritised due to earlier start date of the academic year.

Find out more on our page detailing every step of the registration process.

Funding information

Make sure you've got all of your fees and funding arrangements made before starting at SRUC. You can find out more on the fees & funding page.

Student loans information for HN and Degree level students

If you have received your student loan payment schedule, SRUC will aim to confirm attendance during Induction Week. SRUC is required to confirm attendance/engagement and we will do this based upon engagement with induction activities. Please note that payments will be handled by SLC and are not within SRUC’s control.

Important funding note

Students who are studying an HN and Degree level course who are eligible to receive funding from SAAS must apply to SAAS for their tuition fees. Students who do not apply to SAAS may risk being faced with an invoice to pay for their course. If you're paying your own fees or are sponsored, you'll need to fill out the Statement of tuition fee liability form.
